Lightning’s Deadly Work
One of the deplorable accidents that has occurred in the county for some time was experienced at Westport last Saturday night during an electrical storm. One happy life was destroyed and another placed in the balance with but little if any hope of recovery.

The house of W. C. SANDERS was the scene of the sad occurrence, L. ROY SANDERS, a nephew, and MISS DONIE, daughter of W. C. SANDERS, the victims. Roy and Miss Donie were standing by a window watching and admiring the vivid flashes of lightning. While standing, a bolt struck the stove flue leading to the room where they stood, striking Roy, killing him instantly, and so badly shocked Miss Donie that she is not expected to live. (vivid description of the Roy’s body with entrails, etc.) Miss Done is suffering, her throat paralyzed, unable to swallow. A Mr. BUTLER was lying on a feather bed nearer the stove than the either of the other two, but was not hurt.

Mr. Sanders was a young man, about 25 years old, a member of the Baptist Church, a superintendent of Sunday School, and stood high in the estimation of all. He was clerking for BANKS Brothers, but had been supper and stopped to see his relatives. He was buried at Oak Hill Monday, a Mason in good standing.

Later, since the above was put in type, we learned that MISS SANDERS died Wednesday and was buried at Oak Grove yesterday. Miss Donie was the oldest daughter of W. C. SANDERS, 25 years old, a member of the Baptist Church, and a most estimable lady. She suffered intense agony.

Several parties were in the room and left just before the lightning struck the roof of the house, among others were MRS. T. H. MERRITT of this place. The sad affair is greatly deplored by the neighbors and the bereaved families have the sympathy of all.

An Outing
After a drive of an hour and a half yesterday evening, the following couples in response to an invitation from PRINCE A.

HEAD and MISS CORAN TOWNES and PRINCE A. HAWKINS and MISS DELANA WHITE. After supper, a few hours were spent at the home of Chancellor and MRS. A. G. HAWKINS, engaging in pleasant and joyous conversation.

The town of McKenzie has been infested for some time with a … population that has proven a source of annoyance… houses of prostitution, indecent conduct.
